| Decision |
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeals of the appellants, affirming the decision of the Service Tribunal regarding the ante-dating of promotions and the reversion of the appellants from Grade-19 to Grade-18. The Court held that the Service Tribunal's findings regarding the availability of promotion vacancies were binding and that the promotion of the respondents was valid based on the principles of seniority and fitness. The Court also ruled that the reversion of the appellants was a consequence of implementing the Supreme Court's previous decision, thus upholding the law and ensuring the integrity of the civil service promotion process. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the promotion and seniority disputes within the Education Department of N.W.F.P., specifically addressing the legality of ante-dating promotions and the subsequent reversion of direct recruits. The Supreme Court examined whether the promotions could be retroactively applied and whether the principles of natural justice were upheld in the reversion process. The decision emphasized the binding nature of previous judgments and the need for adherence to established service rules, ultimately reinforcing the legal framework governing civil service promotions.
